this is VERY true. the problem is that there are other places on the page where the arrow is necessary... like in this text box i am typing in. we looked into doing this and did not find a suitable solution :(
Enchancement request.

Thanks, Eric. I kinda figured you guys would have done it already, if it was doable.
I was just thinking about a possible "enhancement". What if there was a way to use the computer during an unrated game. Say you are stuck and it was a friendly game/learning match and you could just click a button under submit and it would show you a quality move. that could help the newbies and you could stay on chess.com to do it.
What might help save arthritis is a 'play' button that runs through the whole game with a single click.

I've been thinking about this for a while, and now I'm not sure we were talking about the same arrows. I'm a Mac guy, so I have a set of four dedicated arrow keys in the near right-hand corner of my keyboard. I didn't mean the left and right arrow in the upper-case mode on the comma and period keys.
I remember once talking with the pro programmers at Orem, Utah for weeks trying to figure out how to make a WordPerfect macro do a particular really-complex maneuver. None of us could figure a way, so we gave up. Two months later the answer hit me so hard between the ears it almost knocked me off the throne I was sitting on at the time. (Great idea makers, thrones.) Anyway, my point is maybe there really IS a way to--just for an example--make the dedicated arrow keys operate back and forth through the moves of a Chess.com game after your cursor first clicks in a "Moves" window, yet make those same dedicated arrow keys operate as they would in a word processor (for block selecting, etc.) after your cursor first clicks in a "Messages" window, or a "Notes" window. Isn't that possible?
Hello, Eric-
It would sure be nice if the various dynamic diagrams on the Chess.com website could work with the arrow keys as an alternative to clicking with the mouse. The arrow keys are faster and easier to use than moving the mouse around. Thanks.
